Bailey run out (Parthiv Patel) 21(18) [4s-1]

16.2 - Malinga to D Miller, out Caught by Rohit!! Slinga does it again for MUM. Oh the umpires are converging. Looks like they are checking if it was a bump ball. No problems with the no-ball and the replay shows that it did not go off the ground and Miller will have to walk back. Full and outside off stump, Miller advances and tries to drive hard, hits it uppishly, Rohit moves to his left at mid-wicket, gets both hands to it, the ball pops out just for a moment, he manages to clutch it with his body.

1.1 - Malinga to Sehwag, out Caught by Pollard!! Sehwag falls cheaply once again! A carbon copy of his previous dismissal, this was pitched up and on a length around off, Sehwag was looking to work it towards the on-side, closed the face of the bat a fraction too early, the leading edge is found and Pollard accepts the gift at backward point. Sehwag c Pollard b Malinga 2(5)
